Nice place, but some things could be better
Likes: This is my second stay at a Kasa property. I love their concept of a "virtual front desk" where you don't interact with people but instead you receive all check-in/out instructions and property information by text, email, and through their web portal. The location was great, being right on the edge of the Del Ray neighborhood with lots of independent shops and restaurants. The space was great for one person, about the size of a small hotel room except it had a kitchen with a full-size fridge, dishwasher, microwave, and stove. There was also a stackable washer and dryer in the unit. While I didn't use them, there were decent amenities in the building like a coffee bar, business center, fitness room, and even a running track. The pics below were taken after my first night, so I had already slept in the unit.
Dislikes: My biggest issue was that the unit could use a deep cleaning. The stove top, oven, and the corners in the shower needed a thorough cleaning. Don't get me wrong, I was only heating things up in the microwave and wasn't doing real cooking, so it wasn't a deal breaker, and I would stay here again. Also, whle the parking garage was easy to find and convenient, in the information, they stated that the parking "currently" was a little over $11 a day, but it was actually $24.35 for a day. I understand that Kasa does not set the parking prices, and they say in the info that parking prices are out of their control but if you are going to list a "current" price, it should not be double the price you list when people get there to park. Parking tip: If you get back to the unit in the evening, there are some parking spots right in front of the building that are free from 8pm - 8am. During the day after 8am, it's only 2 hours max free parking in those spots. Also, after my first night, instead of paying $24 dollars to park for 1 day/24 hours, I only paid $12 for 12 hours because I was going to be at work all day with my car.
